Standby Productions

We love what we do

We’re all about collaboration. Add to that our love of cinematography and passion for storytelling. Together we can create films that have a real, powerful, stop-you-in-your-tracks impact; drawing an emotional response from your audience like no other medium can.

This is why we love making films. Whether we’re working on a creative treatment, filming on location or getting stuck into a big edit, we’re fuelled by a desire to do better. A truly great film should move people, and we want every production of ours to do exactly that.

This is what separates us from our peers. We know our best work is still ahead of us, and that desire to go beyond, to create something even more powerful and creative than before, drives us onwards. By the end of a project, you will be the proud owner of a video that achieves your business objectives and we should be proud creators of something exceptional.

Film, watch, enjoy, repeat: that’s what we do here at Standby.

So let’s do it together.

We make people smile

We make people laugh

We make people proud

We make people happy

We make people connect

We make people enjoy

We make cracking films
